Secrets Of Farming That Experts Dont Want You To
Know
Theres a difference between Farming and
Gardening, but there is also similarity. They
both grow vegetables or fruits or flowers. While
a gardener grows what appeals to their taste
buds, a farmer grows what the market or the
consumer demands.   No doubt, farming is more
tedious than gardening. A farmer doesnt grow his
produce in a few pots or a small area. Rather a
large area is cultivated, and a particular crop
is cultivated over a long stretch of land. But in
recent times, many people are buying small plots
to grow their own produce or taking up farming to
meet the demands of organic and fresh produce.
Whether youre tending to a 550 sqft garden to
serve your family or working in acres of field,
you need to keep some points in mind that will
help you understand whether you are doing it
right.    For decades farming has followed the
industrial method of producing large quantities
of the same crop. In a country like India,
farming has been practiced since the dawn of the
earliest civilization. Different regions have
different methods of farming. But with years they
have transformed and several methods of
innovation have come up.   Below we have listed
few secrets of farming that experts dont want
you to know.

• Soil Testing  Soil testing is nothing but
  analyzing the quality of soil for the right kind
  of composition, nutrient content, pH level, or
  acidity and finding ways to improve soil quality.
  It is the first and the most important step that
  should be practiced in farms whether growing
  vegetables for the market or for your table.
  Without a soil analysis, its nearly impossible
  to tell what is your soil lacking, and how it can
  be improved.
• Over time the quality of soil changes, so it is
  important that once your growing season is over,
  you get your soil tested again. This is the
  perfect way to manage the quality of the soil.
• Crop rotation  Crop rotation is the practice of
  growing different crops over some time on a
  particular piece of land. Growing the same crop
  reduces the soil quality of the land, over time
  it will make your soil infertile. There are
  several advantages of crop rotation that makes it
  the most preferred method of farming. Improved
  soil fertility, increased yield, increased
  organic content, pest and weed control are some
  of the many benefits. This method has helped
  farmers over the years to be successful, and many
  are still following this method.

• Manure as a fertilizer  Manure contains
  micronutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, and
  potassium. All of these are important for the
  healthy growth of the plant. Manure slowly
  releases these into the soil. This makes it easy
  for plants to absorb the nutrients. Farmers use
  manure both as a fertilizer and a soil amendment.
  Using organic manure will increase the yield, and
  improve soil quality. You do not need to use any
  other chemical fertilizers if you use cow manure
  or composting regularly. But make sure you do not
  over-fertilize your plants.
• Watering is the key  There are many types of
  irrigation system that supplies water to the
  entire land. Water is important from the very
  beginning when you sow your seeds, to the entire
  growing process. Irrigation water can come from
  underground wells or reservoirs, rivers or lakes,
  or rainwater harvesting. In modern sustainable
  systems, nozzles with sprinklers are the most
  convenient way of watering. One needs to keep in
  mind that water is a valuable resource and you
  should keep a tab on its usage.
